Socket 1207 CPU & Cooler Installation
1.
Locate the first CPU socket. (The CPU has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact
from damage. Before installing the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket
pins.)
3.
Raise the load lever up to its full extent.
4.
Open the load plate.
2.
Remove the plastic cap from the load plate. The pins of the socket reveal.
5.
After confirming the CPU direction (indicated below with red circles) for correct
mating, put down the CPU in the socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp on the
edge of the CPU base. Note that the alignment keys are matched.
6.
Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU
with pure vertical motion and reinstall.
